WHEN a Birmingham haulage contractor found the demand for goods he was permitted to carry on an A-licensed vehicle had declined, he contravened the normal user by carrying more profitable" loads, the West Midland Licensing Authority, Mr. J. Else, was told in Birmingham on Monday. Mr. E. G. Wareham, of Kings Heath, Birmingham (trading as Wareham Transport), appeared before the Authority to give reasons why his A licence should not be revoked or suspended.
His solicitor, Mr. J. Foley Egginton, said the licence had been issued in 1959 and, when a schedule prepared at that time was compared with a recent Licensing Authority document, a definite breach of the normal user, so far as the load was concerned, was apparent. Mr. Wareham told the court that he had at first used the vehicle to carry loads of metal, confectionery and tractors, but when he lost his metal trade in November, 1960, he found it more profitable to carry fruit for Geest Industries (fruit importers) than to continue with his confectionery and tractor business
"When Geest started getting busy in May, 1961, I transferred the A-licensed vehicle to them and began to carry the fruit regularly. I did not realize I should have applied for a new licence when the normal user changed, because I had been carrying fruit occasionally before and I thought it would be all right. I thought 1 had to include the fruit in the licence when it was renewed," said Mr. Wareham.
He said he stopped carrying the fruit as soon as he heard about the inquiry and went back to carrying confectionery.
After hearing his evidence, Mr. Else adjourned the case to a date to be fixed. He told the man: "I am not disposed to deal with this matter until I have certified figures from your accountant for the period from January, 1960, to September, 1961, giving details of the customers served, traffic carried, and the earnings of the A-licensed vehicle. When I have that information I will relist the case as soon as possible."
